Producción y desarrollo de nueve variedades de naranja Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck en la zona plana del Valle del Cauca
Five years old orange trees, were grafted on Cleopatra scions of nine cultivars planted in a completely randomized block design were evaluated. Fruit growths presented three typical phases of variable lenght, depending on the cultivar: slow , rapid and stable growth rates. Largest growth were observed in the old Vini, Valencia and Valle Washington cultivars. In all cases total soluble solid contents and acidity increased, up to certain point, with fruit age. Considering that the optimum time to iniciate cropping is when the relationship between solids and acidity is 9.5: 1, the earlient cultivar is Valle Washington (7.5 months) while the old Vini and Australian Navel are intermediate and Garcia Valencia is late. All cultivars had solid content above 50% and attractive pulp color. Most attractive rind color was found in the Parson Brown (97.s yellow), the rest fluctuated between 48 and 79%, All cultivars had less than six seeds per fruit, There were two cropping seasons. Largest producers (Hamlin, Garda Valencia and Pineapple) had the largest monthy variation, marketing 90 % for industrial purposes and 10% for as fresh product the best cultivars were Pineapple, Hamlin, Parson Brown, Valle Washington and old Vini.
